We were asked the other day to explain how one proposes a session or talk at FediForum. There is no call for papers!
Indeed you can't. That's because FediForum is not a talking-heads conference, but an unconference (e.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference ).
This means the attendees decide what happens during FediForum, not us organizers. You come in in the morning of each day with session proposals. You announce them during agenda making in the first hour, put them on the schedule, and that's it!
